A generally faithful representation of medieval-fantasy China, Age of Wushu puts a barrier many hours deep between us and enjoying this fairly unique free-to-play MMORPG. As a PvP-focused game, its time-limited cash shop and cultivation skill system makes it inhospitable to free players, yet Age of Wushu brings fresh life to stale genre features...

So yeah, give it a try, it’s probably not going to blow you away but it’s still a neat game and could be right up the ally of players seeking an open world EVE Online experience but in a fantasy RPG setting.

Age of Wushu is a game that I can't honestly judge right away. It has a lot of ideas that fall short of their ambitions due to clunky execution, but Snail Games has promised regular support for this title--for all I know, this could be a completely different experience in a few months.

Age of Wushu is a great game that brings some really innovative features to the market. From the intense action-oriented combat to the focus on social aspects of the game, they do things quite well. My biggest worry is the cash-shop. Even though Snail Games has promised to keep it from being pay-to-win...

There are many cosmetic quirks that clearly indicate the smaller budget Snail Games has at their disposal, but overall this is a successful blend of familiar MMO concepts with plenty of unique twists. If you've grown tired of sending your orcs and elves on fetch quests filled with humdrum combat, you'll definitely want to give Age of Wushu a try.
